wiki:SvnsyncPlugin

Front-end to svnsyncing a remote svn repo

Description

Note: Plugin seems to be incompatible with Trac v1.0.

Trac does not provide an out-of-the-box solution for svn repositories that don't reside on the same server as Trac. SvnsyncPlugin provides a front-end to aid in the creation of a svnsync-ed repository locally. This requires svn 1.4 to be installed locally, including the svnsync command on the $PATH.

This plugin is still a beta and is not as automated as it could be. Also, svnsync is not 100% reliable: for instance, it does not work as expected on edgewall's repositories.

Source

You can check out SvnsyncPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Installation

General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the TracPlugins page.

Svnsync, and therefore the SvnsyncPlugin, requires the remote version svn server to be at least version 1.4; see the svnsync section of the subversion 1.4.

Configuration

To use this plugin, you must make some changes to the trac.ini file of your Trac project. First, enable the plugin:

[components]
svnsyncplugin.* = enabled

Make sure your repository type is set to svnsync:

[trac]
repository_dir = /path/to/directory
repository_type = svnsync

Note that repository_dir is used as the destination directory for the sync. You must also give the repository_url you wish to sync to:

[svn]
repository_url = http://yoursvnserver.org/svn

The repository will be synced on each request. The first sync (to get all past versions) will take some time. You can get around this by using the svnsync.py script (UNIX syntax shown):

`python -c 'import svnsyncplugin, os; print os.path.dirname(svnsyncplugin.__file__)'`/svnsync.py --directory /path/to/directory --repository http://yoursvnserver.org/svn
